Columbus, Ohio based Bourbon Legend is a dynamic group of musicians serving up a blend of americana, rock, folk, and country music that guarantees an energy filled live experience.
An important update and request from the Bourbon Legend Band.
Our friend, front man, and community linchpin Bill Reinking suffered a serious stroke between his Pelatonia rides in August. This was a shock to everyone. Bill is an Ironman, 1% Crossfit athlete, and someone dedicating his life helping others through Pelatonia and his Encore for Cure charity.
As tough of a hand he has been delt, Bill has shown great strides over the past 2 months and made it home last week to continue healing and working his butt off. Phoenix, unicorn, and stubborn resilience are a few words I've heard thrown around these past 2 months. Everyone privileged enough to be around Bill know his determination is unmatched and he will continue to surprise us throughout this journey.
The band has been quiet the past two months as we focus our efforts supporting Bill and his family while they navigate something that still feels unreal. We will continue to post links to Bill's GoFundMe and Caring Bridge pages for anyone interested in helping out and keeping up on his current status. If your not sure how to help out, feel free to reach out and ask.
As we talked though ways the band can help out, it quickly became obvious we need to bring this great community together for a night of music and positivity. Bill Bash will be held at Campfire Brewing in Westerville on October 10th. This will be a family friendly community gathering. All proceed will be directly donated to Bill's GoFundMe page. Details are below.
Our ask from this community:
- Check out Bill's GoFundMe & Caring Bridge pages
- Come out to Bill Bash October 10th, 2026
